Platform Lift & Home Lift
Installation Hadleigh

We quote each Hadleigh job to the property, not a fixed rate. The number of floors, the model chosen and the house — an older home near the castle differs from a Daws Heath semi — all shape the figure, so a domestic through-floor lift usually costs less than a commercial scheme. After a survey, the written quotation is free and carries no obligation.

For most Hadleigh homes none is needed, because the lift sits entirely indoors as permitted development. Hadleigh Castle and any listed buildings or conservation areas are the exceptions, where external changes can require consent. We confirm where your property stands before any work begins and handle the conservation and building-regulations paperwork for you.

Three to five days is typical for a Hadleigh installation. Because the lift arrives factory-built and sits in a shallow 150mm pit, the home avoids the weeks of shaft and masonry work a conventional lift would involve. We agree the timetable with you in advance, so each stage is planned and the completion date is clear from the very start.

Yes. Hadleigh sets older houses near the London Road beside inter-war and post-war hillside semis and newer homes at Daws Heath, and OnLevel lifts suit them all. A shallow pit, no machine room and a slim footprint let a lift stand beside the stairs with light work, whatever the age and style of the house.

It depends on whether the upstairs needs to stay wheelchair-accessible. For one person who can sit, a stairlift may be enough. Where a wheelchair or scooter must reach the first floor, a platform lift is the answer, carrying user and aid together. Many Hadleigh households choose the lift to keep the whole home usable for the long term.

Yes. A service plan is part of every OnLevel installation. After your Hadleigh lift goes in, our engineers return on a set schedule to check and test it, covering the ridge and out to Thundersley, South Benfleet and Leigh-on-Sea, and come out quickly should a fault arise. Regular care keeps the lift safe and dependable.

Very little. The OnLevel lift asks only for a shallow 150mm pit and houses no separate machinery, so a corner of a room or the space beside the staircase is usually enough. That is how it fits the hillside semis and older houses of Hadleigh, where a traditional shafted lift simply could not be built.

Yes. Our engineers hold SafeContractor accreditation under CN8516, and every Hadleigh lift is built to the EN 81-41 safety standard alongside Part M of the Building Regulations and BS 8300:2018. The work is carried out by our own trained teams rather than subcontractors, and each lift is fully tested, certified and signed off before handover.
